The Allerhand Institute is an independent research centre, which conducts interdisciplinary and comparative studies on the role of legal institutions in creating and working in economic markets, both in terms of the shape of the regulation and the institutional framework they create. The Institute specializes in private law, but other areas of research include commercial law, insolvency, civil, economics, financial and capital market law as well as corporate governance. These are areas of law, whose efficiency primarily affects the economic growth and prosperity of the country. In pursuing its mission the Allerhand Institute wishes to enrich the public domain by making available the results of its studies and research to institutions which create and carry out law in Poland and the European Union, (i.e. The Commission for Codification of Private Law, The Governmental Centre for Legislation, The Bureau of Parliamentary Analyses, The European Commission,The European Parliament, The OECD and other bodies and international agencies). The Institute recognizes an important part of its mission is to share Polish experiences with countries undergoing regime changes, similar to those in Poland path in the last two decades. The Institute is involved in expert support, research projects and cooperation, mostly with the Ukraine and other CIS countries.
